Application filed July 8, 1896- $erial No. 598,390. (No specimens.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMIL L. BLUN, of New York, in the county and Stateof New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement inGloves, of which the following is a specification.

My improvement relates to gloves which are reinforced at placessubjected to the greatest wear.

My improvement consists in a glove having on the inner side areinforcing-piece extending over the backs of the tips of the fingers,thence along the fronts of the fingers, thence along the palm of thehand to the wrist portion of the glove, the said glove having athumb-lining and the said reinforcing-piece being secured along theedges of the body and fingers of the glove and also the inner edge ofthe thumb-lining.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view of the front of a gloveturned inside out. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section taken through thesame lengthwise of one of the fingers.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in bothfigures.

A designates a glove, which may be made of any suitable materialas, forinstance, of a woven or knitted fabric. It may be made in the ordinaryor any suitable manner.

Bis a reinforcing-piece extending from the wrist portion of the gloveentirely across the palm of the hand along the fronts of the fingers andover the tips and backs of the tip portions of the fingers, the entirepiece being secured by stitching along the sides of the glove and alongthe sides of the fingers and being on the inside of the glove. It has athumb-openin g 1) corresponding to the thumbopening a in the front ofthe glove. There is a lining-piece O for the entire thumb of the glove,and this is secured to the reinforcingpiece A by stitching and also tothe thumb of the glove.

That I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A glove having a thumb-lining and provided on its inner side with areinforcingpiece having a thumb-opening and extending entirely acrossthe palm to the Wrist portion of the glove, and separated strips forminga part of said piece and extending along the fronts of the fingers, andover the tips thereof for a short distance down the backs, the saidpiece being secured along the edges of the body and fingers of theglove, and also the inner edge of the thumb-lining, substantially asdescribed.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

EMIL L. BLUN.
